Just days before Christians worldwide commemorate the death and resurrection of Jesus, a college student's production of a play depicting a Christ-like character as a homosexual is infuriating local residents who plan to protest this weekend's event.

"Corpus Christi," written by Terrence McNally, is the Tarleton State University project for student director John Jordan Otte, a 26-year-old homosexual who also says he's Christian.

This never ceases to amaze me; Homosexuals can never just leave their perversion in their bedrooms...they have to define their entire life by their sexual perversity and broadcast it everywhere. This sort of blasphemy...profaning Christ in this manner...you'd think it's about time we start stoning people. How can people be so corrupt and dishonest; he's a guy that defines himself by perversion, but he says he's a Christian too...people just remake being a "Christian" into whatever they wish. Islamic-Fascists were rioting all over the world because a Danish newspaper published a cartoon of Muhammad, but Christ gets this kind of treatment to no avail.

Least surprising information in the article:
“Steven Shriner, who portrayed both Mary and Peter, was convicted of attempted sexual assault, attempted luring/enticing of a child, and attempted criminal sexual contact.”

Texas.. God may be in control but I totally disagree with your position. It is NOT a waste of time to speak out loudly against this kind of perversion. Many, many young people do not have parents guiding their spiritual and moral lives so they are at the mercy of the barrage of what they get in the media and from others they associate with.

Our silence on these types of blasphemies are taken as acceptance by many unsuspecting ignorant people.

Never should we use violence to push our point, but standing by and silently allowing the continued persecution of Christ and Christian beliefs is IMHO a sin.

Christians, several days before the showing should by email and twitter start spewing out messages that it is not Jesus being portrayed as gay but it is really Mohammed and the students are pulling a great hoax on the community. Maybe some you tube shots of the cast with Mohammed printed over the Jesus actor.

I can hear the screams of dismay from the perps already - a beautiful rhapsody

(AfganistaMr Obama said the goal was to "disrupt, dismantle and defeat al-Qaeda" and its allies.)

The gays love to try to pervert Christian religion for their own ends. Other recent gay attacks on Christianity:

“After David had finished talking with Saul, Jonathan became one in spirit with David, and he loved him as himself.” 1 Samuel 18:1 = “David was gay.” Wrong! The word “loved” is one of brotherly love, and in no way sexual. (But for gays, all “love” means a perverted sexual act.)

Sometimes gays like to insinuate that the Apostle Paul was gay by his letter in 2 Corinthians 12:7 alleging Paul’s “thorn in his flesh” was that he was gay. But that doesn’t get much play because the full passage states: “To keep me from becoming conceited because of these surpassingly great revelations, there was given me a thorn in my flesh, a messenger of Satan, to torment me.” Hard to promote being gay and admit that homosexuality comes from the devil.

Another perversion of The Word was put up on billboards around here a few years ago; it was done by a group trying to start a “gay church.” I really don’t want to know what ritual or sacraments such a church would have, but the billboards declared: “Would Jesus discriminate?” In other words, Jesus would not declare homosexuals sinners because he would not discriminate against them. However, this clearly misinterpreted “discrimination.” Jesus would not discriminate against a person on the basis of sex or race because none of those things are deliberate choices and none of them are sins. Sin is a deliberate choice, and homosexuality IS a sin. There is no question Jesus would condemn it for the sin that it is. Nice try, but no true Christian bought into it.

(A broken government does not merit full faith and credit.)

Why don’t we turn a blind eye to stuff like this? It’s just a pathetic stunt to see who would be outraged. Our nation needs prayer, not lashing out at the other side who clearly don’t know what they are doing.

Ignoring the problem won’t make it go away..that’s what many liberals have advised...the “avert your eyes and ears” policy, although in a culture this toxic...that’s impossible. You either reclaim the culture...or condemn yourself to live in the swamp.

“What would happen if he did this about Mohammad???”

They won’t because they (the left) fear MAN. Islam is the religion of man and through fanatiscm, man’s wrath is kindled against anyone who criticizes it.

Christianty is not centered on man but rather Jesus Christ. Through faith is how we see and experience Jesus. No one can see the power and judgement from God (yet). If it were so, then NO ONE would be mocking Him and Christ.

While the retribution from Islam (man) is immediate, it is finite and small. The retribution from God is not only after this life, but incomprehesible. These secural leftists have not idea of the unquenchible fire they are playing with.

As for this “christian” who is gay and is putting on the play, all I can say is that this is proof that the apostacy of the church is alive and well and we are most definitely living in the last days.

This play and the people who support represent in seed-form the reasons why al-queada and other muslim-extremists want to attack America!

The culture of the middle east is VERY conservative. Unfortunately, America - as viewed through middle eastern eyes - is a country of people who live unbridled lives of adultery, accept overt sexual promiscuity in their media and accept extreme immoral behavior such as homosexuality. Can you imagine homosexual weddings in ANY middle eastern country? Hell no!

This is why they hate us. They see us as a threat to their own culture. They see us exporting our immoral lifestyles and influencing their younger generations. They recognize it for the poison that it is.

Unfortunately, our Republican and Conservative leaders have failed miserably at explaining how liberal ideologies have caused and even invited the hatred of America by those in the middle east and that liberal thought and behavior endanger our very existence!

Republicans and Conservatives could gain support from millions of Muslims in this country by joining forces to combat the promotion of immorality, which is fostered in our nation's schools and taught in all too many liberal universities. Combating liberals could literally save our country from Islamic radicals who want to destroy us because of the ideologies promoted by liberal democrats.
